Hello everyone!
This is just a final word to thank you and to thank Jesus for an awesome 2 weeks of summer youth art intensive round 2!! We finished strong and the youth are all very motivated to keep doing smaller events throughout the year and another intensive next summer.
It was a beautiful 2 weeks full of laughter, creation, discussion, questions and so much more. The whole thing culminated in an expo that we put on for family and friends and the teens were lavished in encouragement as they stepped up and shared their art and their hearts with everyone. Some discovered artistic abilities they didn't realize they had; others heard about a Jesus who loves them and created them; they solidified friendships, some old, some new; and they made lots and lots of art! Thank you for your help in creating a context for this!
Thank you so much for your support for this time - whether in prayer or financially - to help create a safe, creative space for these teens to dig more deeply into who they are in Jesus, as creatives and as a community. Can't wait to do it again!
May you be blessed as summer wraps up
Sarah and Dan
